The Main Department of EMERCOM of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan warns:
In the period of fluctuation of day and night temperatures to positive values it is extremely dangerous to go on the ice. However, many people neglect precautions and go out on the fragile ice, thereby putting their lives in mortal danger.

Safe for humans is considered ice thickness of at least 10 cm in fresh water.
At the mouths of rivers and inflows durability of ice is weakened. Ice is fragile in areas of rapid flow, spurting springs and runoff waters, as well as in areas of aquatic vegetation, near trees, bushes and reeds.
If the air temperature above 0 degrees is kept for more than three days, the strength of the ice is reduced by 25 %. The strength of the ice can be determined visually: ice blue-durable, white-its strength is 2 times less, gray, matte white or yellowish ice is unreliable.

Try to gently lie down on the edge of the ice and throw one, and then the other leg on the ice. If ice has sustained, being rolled, slowly creep to coast. Crawl to the other side – where you came from, because the ice is already tested.

- It is especially dangerous to leave children alone in locked apartments or rooms. In case of a fire they can't get out of a burning building out.
- Remember: the duty of every adult is to stop playing with fire, to explain to children it’s danger.
- Take care of the safety of your children, explain them that in case of a fire you need to leave the room immediately, and then call the emergency number "112".
As for the fire, you are an example for your children.
